The position of Judge's Associate is an excellent introduction to the law and a unique role, which those who have held it generally recall as a highlight of their careers. The Associateship is, in almost all cases, an experience which is looked back upon with great fondness because of the enormous increase in self-confidence and knowledge of the law that it involves together with the feeling that one is doing something really important; the peek behind the curtain at how the Courts really work; and the career-enhancing contacts that one develops. Despite the large number of Associates appointed each year and the fact that, for many of them, the position will be their first taste of formal full-time employment in the law, to date no source of information about the role has existed. This book aims to provide an intimate look into what an Associateship involves beyond what is said about the role in Court websites. Features: A unique guide to this coveted role.
